| Studding Hi everyone, My wife and I were thinking of studding out our youngest male, but we have never done this before. He is a 2.6lb. bundle of energy. Can anyone give me any suggestions on this? |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Well there have been several threads here about *studding*, but I am hopeless with the search engine here. How-ever consider this seriously as breeding any dog is not a decision to make lightly. If you have not considered the risks to your male you should do so - there is a stickey in the Library about this. There is most especially with novice breeders a real risk of injury to your male. The female pulls away when your male is inside of her - he damages his penis. The female is decidedly un-receptive and bites your male. Just two examples. What if the female has brucellosis and she infects your male ------ Do you know to request test for this, and btw you should have one done too? I highly encourage you to research all the responsibilities of a stud owner, including your financial responsibility if the litter has genetic condition(s) that your dog contributed to. Are you prepared if the for what-ever reason the bitch dies in labour or later from complictions to help her owner raise those puppies, and if necessary help her to place the puppies in good homes. But first you should really decide if this male should be bred at all. Do you know if he is a good example of the breed, and that his lines deserve to be carried on? If so, how do you know this? What conformation shows have you entered him in, what experienced breeders of Yorkies have assessed his breed worthiness? And I can tell you from experience stud owners who do the right health screenings, showing, training, etc do not make any money from studding. So do you know and have you done the breed appropriate health screenings? Do you the health lineage back in your dogs pedigree? If you want to breed, then you owe it to our breed, to do your best to breed healthy dogs of great temperament who at least met the YT breed standard.

| I think gemy did a good job in her answer so I will just add that if this is a pet then I would not consider it because an intact male marks the house and it is much more when you stud him out. |

I have a breeder contacted me and I want to know a little more about the (low blood sugar) We gave Gunner at 9 weeks old 3cc twice a day for about two weeks and he was just fine.

| Never give honey for the same reason you don't give infants honey. It has a bacteria that can cause botulism in immature digestive systems. The risk is probably low, but why risk it at all. Use Nutrical or Nutristat. I definitely think you can cause problems by giving sugar regularly as a preventative with no symptoms of hypoglycemia. I keep my puppies until 11 or 12 weeks and have never had a case, but did purchase a puppy with severe hypoglycemia (blood drawn and tested by vet) so I know it exists. The smaller the puppy the more likely because they have smaller reserves and have to eat more often. I think the best way to use nutrical is when the puppy is stressed like on the first night before bedtime or in the morning if you have to leave the puppy alone while you are at work. I never want to see a puppy go more than 8 hours between meals, 6 hours for the tinies. If they won't eat then I would give a pea size amount of nutrical. Hypoglycemia is caused by stress of too much activity, vaccinations, being too cold, not eating often enough or having an upset stomach. Don't drag the new puppy to Petsmart and all over town and make sure his sleeping and eating schedule is your top priority. |
